It was very hot, but we had good shade and a breeze from the river. The cottonwood seeds were falling, and that was somewhat obnoxious, but that goes with being outside this time of year.

Nice and quiet campground, clean showers and restrooms. The weather was perfect! Not too hot and didn't have to run ac due to shaded area. New picnic tables were awesome!

We didn't mind the hot weather, it made for great camping and inviting friends and family over for an evening meal. We also enjoyed riding our nearly new e bikes on the trails.

Love this camp ground. The playground was closed though, and this would ahve been good information to know before reserving as I would have picked a different spot.
